Using the Frogwatch Atlas to View and Enter Observations

Rough-skin Newt (Taricha granulosa)

In collaboration with the Community Mapping Network (CMN) we have developed a BC Frogwatch Atlas. Using this website you can:

  1. View a map of occurrences of not only BC Frogwatch observations but also all incidental observations of other wildlife species [PDF 864KB].
  2. Submit incidental records of all wildlife species and BC Frogwatch incidental observations [PDF 974KB].
  3. Enter data collected as part of the BC Frogwatch long-term monitoring program for submission to the provincial database [PDF 2.83MB].

Click on each of the actions above for detailed instructions on how to use these functions. Help files are also available within the website and online forms to guide you through the data entry process. Click the blue question mark [?] and other hyperlinks to access both help files and field descriptions.

Other data layers are also available for viewing at this site. Simply check the box on the left of the Layer name, and the layer will show on the map. Some layers, such as the 1:20K Freshwater Atlas and the BC Frogwatch observations, will only become visible at a specific scale, and therefore you will have to zoom in to view them.

Please be patient. There is a lot of data on this site and it might take a few minutes for the map to load the first time.

If you get a black screen or if the map does not load try ctrl+F5 or Fn+F5 or clicking on the refresh icon.
